What’s the difference between the Del Mar Heights PTA and the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF)?
Great question! We get this one all the time. The PTA pays for resources, materials, and equipment.

Contributions you make toward the DMSEF are pooled into a districtwide budget and are used to pay next year’s salaries. Here’s a graphic with more detail:

Why should I give money to both the PTA and the DMSEF?
We like to explain the difference by saying that the PTA pays for the microscopes and the DMSEF pays for the science teacher. We need both to succeed.
